HI forever your mummy,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss Sending big hugs...

I don't know if this will help you or not, but when I was in a similar situation - I probably would've liked to hear of someone else's experience. Believe it or not I don't know these forums existed then and it was only 4 years ago!

I suffered an mc at roughly 8.5 weeks - 4 years ago. I was devastated but it all happened pretty quickly, similar to you TMI ahead - i suffered a big bleed and passed some clotting and then things went back to normal fairly quickly physically anyway. I was lucky and didn't need to have a d&c or anything.

I was terrified of it happening again - and I was desperate to fall pregnant again, as quickly as possible. My OB was happy for us to start trying again when we were ready. Anyway - as soon as the bleeding ceased we pretty much started DTD immediately - I had no idea where I was in my cycle or whether it even was a cycle, or whether I would need to wait for a period and then ovulation before anything could happen.

We DTD every second day after the bleeding stopped, I don't remember how long for but prob a month or so. 6 weeks after the mc bleeding stopped I still hadn't had a period. Long story short, my DH and I were in Japan together for work and I got head lice. The Japanese pharmacist sold me the head lice stuff and explained to our interpreter that if there was any chance I could be pregnant not to do the lice treatment.

So we bought a pg test I couldn't read (all in Japanese) and I POAS - got a row of funny star things in the window - had to ask the male interpreter to read the instructions and check the pee stick - and discovered we were 2 weeks pregnant.

That pregnancy is my now 3 yr old DS. So sorry to give you the whole long story - but I just wanted to let you know - it is possible to fall pg straight away, and for the pg to be successful. My OB even told us afterwards that trying while you still have pregnancy hormones in your system can help.

I hope whatever is right for you works out as you are wishing. To all the other ladies on this thread, I am so sorry for your losses. Be gentle to yourselves and know how much love and support is around you.
